I swear i saw one before at like kragen or something but ive been looking with no luck?  has anyone seen these before and know where i can get one?

I found this post on a different forum. The guy hide a small push button switch in the cigarette lighter socket and wired it into the ignition switch. You probably could use your lighter to push the button in to start the engine or just use your finger. I am sure the wiring is different than our trucks so the diagrams are just for example.

OK, here is a quick overview for push button start. I'm still working on disabling the steering lock, but once I do that I will post how to go keyless. I bought a couple of momentary switches (pictured next to chapstick for size comparsion) and put one of them in my cig. lighter. I also scratched off "outlet" over the cover so now it just has the pic. of the key and says power. But here are some pics and wiring setups...










 

****EDIT**** DO NOT CUT THE 12V from the harness for only push button start. Please disregard that. ************* QUOTE

I had a kill switch in my Camry that went through my lighter, had to depress the lighter then turn the key. Got it from an alarm installer.
